“Two Little Clouds One Sunny Day”

“Two Little Clouds One Sunny Day”

Rainbow Art by Margaret Tarrant

Two little clouds one sunny day,
Went flying through the sky,
They went so fast, they bumped their heads
And both began to cry.
Old Father Sun looked out and said:
“Oh, never mind, my dears,
I will send my little fairy folk
To dry your fallen tears.”
One came in pink and one in red,
The next in orange bright.
In yellow, green, blue, violet,
They made a pretty sight.
They changed the rolling, crying tears
To drizzling drops of fun,
And then the fairies laughed and said:
“We thank you, rain and sun.”

“In soft morning light”

“In soft morning light”

In soft morning light, the stars fade away.

The birds soon awake. This is a new day.

Awake, awake, shine like the sun.

Give light and love to everyone.

Down is the earth, up is the sky.

There are my friends, and here am I.

Good morning to you, and good morning to me.

“The Sun is in My Heart”

“The Sun is in My Heart”

The sun is in my heart,
He (she) warms me with his (her) power.
And wakens life and love
In bird and beast and flower.
On the earth I stand upright
With joy I greet the morning sun
Who shines with love on every one
Who shines in the sky, on the land and sea,
And who fills me with light
When he (she) shines on me.
Good morning to you
And good morning to me.

“In the Heart of a Seed”

“In the Heart of a Seed”

a3dacd795053b0302ab2936d7c571e6f Art by Jacob L’Admiral’s

In the heart of a seed, Buried deep so deep,
A dear little plant Lay fast asleep.
Wake, said the sun, And creep to the light.
Wake, said the voice Of the raindrops bright.
The little plant heard, And arose to see
What the wonderful outside might be.
